Dear Deeb,
Please pardon the intrusion. I obtained your address from Earl Williams at Lisbon Historical Society. I am working on the Elcik family genealogy. Earl thinks you might be able to help. Thank you.

Charles Hall is a volunteer with the Lisbon Historical Society. Beth and Charles share a common ancestor thru her Goddard mother. Beth was born Purington. Behind her in the Purington family is the darndest “hornet’s nest” Charlie claims to have ever seen. One Humphrey Purington married a woman named Thankful. They had a kid they named Humphrey. He married a woman named Thankful. And, it happened again, three generations in a row.The Humphries is in Charles tree because a child of the 3rd Humphrey married a Hall. So, when he first met Beth, she told him she was a Purington, and right away, they had the three Humphries in common. A good beginning. Then Beth told Charlie her mother was a Goddard. That got them related.

The Humphries are in my Hall tree because a child of the 3rd Humphrey married a Hall. So, when I first met Beth, she told me she was a Purington, and right away, we had the three Humphries in common. A good beginning. Then she told me her mother was a Goddard. That got us related.

Thanks, John. I suspect they also had a brother Paul, whose son Paul 1896 – 1970 is buried in St. Cyril.

Charlie:
Slovakia was part of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary but was administered by Hungary. The Ilčík family was from Parchovany, Slovakia. In the latter part of the 19th century, the priests in Parchovany kept Hungarian sacramental records. In Hungarian, the surname came before the personal name. I found baptismal records for the following children of Ilycsik Pál (Pavol Ilčík in Slovak) and Pelcsarszki Mária (Mária Pelčarská in Slovak):
- Ilycsik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovaki) baptized Mar. 10, 1885; as John P. Elcik died Sep. 5, 1962 at Lewiston
- Ilycsik Mária (Mária Ilčík in Slovak) baptized May 18, 1889
- Ilycsik Anna (Anna Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Sep. 22, 1891
(The Parchovany baptismal records are digitized up to 1895, but Pavol Ilčík was another one of their children, as confirmed by his obituary, which gives his date of birth as February 15, 1896. As Paul Elcik, he died Dec. 23, 1970, at Lewiston.
I found the following baptismal records in Parchovany for children of Ilscik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovak) and Erzsébet Bárán (Alžbeta Baran in Slovak):
- Ilcsik György (Juraj Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Apr. 20, 1866
- Ilcsik János (Ján Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Dec. 28, 1867; as John P. Elcik died May 24, 1941 at Lisbon Falls
- Ilcsik Anna (Anna Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Jan. 31, 1870
- Ilcskik József (Jozef Ilčík in Slovak) baptized Nov. 26, 1873; as Joseph P. Elcik died May 31, 1838
I hope this helps.

Hello “Four” – that is my handle for you. Beth reminded me today that you have a Purington in your tree. I would love to know the name, place, and dates when you have time.
Thanks,
Charlie

Dear John IV and Beth,
As near as I can learn, we have to go back to the first American-born generation for the common ancestor: John Purington, 1635 – 1692. Not sure how many DNA elements would be found, fewer than between John IV and Jack, most certainly.
